Viral TikTok Explains the Science Behind Unique-Looking Dogs

In a recent TikTok video that has gone viral, a Spanish biologist and DJ, known as 'mafer 💗', explained the science behind why some dogs look different. Using the example of a dog named Mierdon, she highlighted the importance of genetic variability in canine populations. "Mierdon's unique look isn't a defect, but rather a result of natural genetic variation," she explained. The video emphasizes that inbreeding, common in purebred dogs, increases the risk of recessive diseases. The video's popularity highlights the public's interest in understanding the science behind their pets' appearances and health. This underscores the need for responsible breeding practices that prioritize genetic diversity.
